Adygea is a region in Russia. The national anthem is "Hymn of the Adygeya", words by Iskhak Shumafovich Mashbash, music by Umar Khatsitsovich Tkhabisimov.


Recorded Adygean music began prior to World War 1, when folk musicians across the Caucasus and Central Asia were commercially recorded. Many of these musicians, including the Adygean Magomet Khfgfudzh, an accordionist, have become cultural heroes to modern inhabitants.


In recent years, Adygea has seen the formation of a number of new musical institutions. These include two orchestras, one of which (Russkaya Udal), uses folk instruments (the other is the Adygeya Republic National Symphony Orchestra), and a chamber music theater. The Nalmes ensemble is a folk dance organization that has been dedicated to promotong and preserving Adygean music and dance since 1936.
